Aqueous silicone polymer compositions

An oil-in-water emulsion comprising 5 and 40 weight-% of one or more silicones based on the weight of the oil-in-water emulsion, and

• a) at least one compound of the general formula (1)
• wherein
• n is 0 or 1,
• R1, R1* and R1** are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a linear or branched C1-C9 alkyl group, and a linear or branched C1-C9 alkyloxy group, and
• R2 is a linear or branched divalent C2-C5 alkyl group,
• and
• b) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the general formulae (2) and (3)
• wherein compounds (2) has 5 to 22 carbon atoms, and wherein
• R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkyl group, a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkylaryl group, an aryl group, a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkyloxy group, a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkylaryloxy group, and an aryloxy group, and
• R4 and R5 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkyl group, a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkylaryl group, an aryl group, or
• R4 and R5 together form an optionally substituted ring system with at least 5 carbon atoms,
• and
• c) optionally one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the general formulae (4) and (5)
